Port Stoth
Port Stoth is a sandy spot in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Port Stoth forms a sheltered cove just southeast of the Butt of Lewis, locally known as Stoth and pronounced Stow. It is indicated as the northernmost landing place in the Outer Hebrides. A path descends to a slipway that crosses the sandy beach, a useful detail if you are looking for access related to a small inlet rather than a large open beach. Nearby beaches include Tràigh Shanndaidh at 1.8 km, Tràigh a' Phuirt, and Tràigh Shuaineaboist at 2.7 km. For an outing, note the isolated character of northern Lewis and the function of a sheltered cove. Neighboring beaches provide fallback options if access, space, or atmosphere are not suitable.
About this spot
Port Stoth is chosen for its very particular setting: a sheltered inlet near the Butt of Lewis, with a path leading to a slipway on the sand. This is not a simple alignment of beach; it is a coastal point to prepare as an isolated stop.
